An observation

First off I haven't posted much recently I have been on holiday. Made it back for Sundays game and I loved every second of it, we will be talking about that game for years. Both sets of fans provided a great atmosphere until Frazier Campbell shut them up!!

Howeve I have an observation to make and something that has made me question VT a lot. I noticed there were a hell of a lot of Malaysians/Asian fans in the ground yesterday supporting the city. And I mean a hell of a lot, particularly close to the away fans in the ninian. Some may have a problem with this but I don't, as long as they respect the clubs culture, support the team and are eager to learn about our history. In fact I saw many taking to other Cardiff fans before and durin the game.

My REAL observation? 90% of them were wearing BLUE, and not just any blue shirts but a variety of blue Cardiff city shirts. We were led to believe that they would only wear red? Not the case on Sunday.

Something for Vinny to think about.

Who led you to believe all the Malaysians would turn up in red?


I seen a few at the west ham game and they were mostly wearing blue too.

The red thing is nonsense, that's why. Yes, it is a symbolically important colour in many far eastern countries, but that is all about context and totally independent of why they may follow one football club or another.

The rebrand was a total folly, and that is what is most upsetting of all. Everyone understands and supports change when it is positive and explained with reason and justification. This rebrand wasn't done with that. It was done for no valid reason, and whats more it was done appallingly badly.

I commented the same to a friend on Sunday 1948, all the ones I saw were wearing the blue rebrand shirt.. Meaning they chose that over red.

Malaysia is blue.

Carl with a K - Reasons for the rebrand were that its a lucky colour over there and that the Asian market are more susceptible to buy a red kit.

The Malaysian fans I saw were as passionate bluebirds as the long term fans and really added to the atmosphere.

I was shocked to see them wearing blue Chuckles. Some were even wearing old Cardiff blue shirts. If they were all like the ones I saw on Sunday they are more than welcome to join the CCFC family.

Yes i noticed loads of asians at the game, doesn't bother me tho, any fan is welcome

Agreed, says to me that the rebrand was a personal whim of Tan's, which is what I suspected all along...

Yeah I saw a few with the proper badge too. Was actually great to see.

At wembley against Blackpool, I remember there were a few Chinese fans behind me. Head to toe in City gear (blue of course, as this was pre-rebrand) and they were very passionately supporting the club. They weren't Cardiffians though, they were students at the university who had obviously taken the club to heart.

Without stereotyping too much, Chinese people are both very respectful and very intelligent (especially the ones based here, which would form the bulk of any Asian fans in the ground) and so it's likely that they would take the time to learn about the club and respect it's identity.

They would most likely know the rebrand is controversial too.
